Review for 5 Hour Energy--Grape

As
common as any (with the exception of Pink Lemonade and Decaf) 5 Hour Energy
product, or dirt, or air, or anything of the sort.

APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—7

Always
love the runner sprinting up mountains at sunset while being chased by the
flavor-of-choice for the shot—how can you not love the idea of a shot that
delivers sufficient power to flee from giant mutant fruits through awesomely
picturesque scenery?Answer is
this—you can’t, but…it’s easy to dismiss the shrink wrap.

TASTE—4

Not
all that much better than the extra strength version, frankly…maybe less
bitter, but it’s still just thin, caffeinated grape Triaminic.

KICK
(INTENSITY)—7

It’s
really a shame that the tastes of these 5 Hour shots are so shoddy, because I
really love the way they kick.It’s
not the jittery, ostentatiously jacked-up sort of buzz you get out of a lot of
products; it’s more of a moderate, mid-range sort of boost that makes you feel
almost like you’re awake under your own steam.I would love to get a kick like this on a regular basis—but in
something that tastes good.

KICK
(DURATION)—10

True
to the name—five hours, no crash.

THE SHOT OVERALL—7

Same
story as all the 5 Hour Energy shots—nice kick, but a taste that’s at best
unpleasant.Decide for yourself if
it’s worth it.
